Reliability Engineering and Asset Performance Foundations

Many African maintenance functions collect failure and cost data but struggle to turn it into better reliability. This programme introduces the core methods of reliability engineering and asset performance management, showing how to measure reliability, understand failure patterns and target the assets that matter most. Participants learn to build a practical reliability improvement programme grounded in their own plant data.

What you will be able to do

  • Define reliability, availability and maintainability and how they are measured.
  • Analyse failure and downtime data to reveal patterns and bad actors.
  • Apply reliability metrics such as mean time between failures to guide decisions.
  • Rank assets by criticality to focus reliability effort where it pays.
  • Select improvement methods suited to each failure pattern and asset.
  • Build a reliability improvement plan and track its results over time.
